My mom has type 2 diabetes, has lost most of her weight, and is still on many diabetic medications and insulin. She is producing insulin, but her body can't use it. Her blood sugar consistently ranges from 200 to 350, and she has had 14 strokes. We have committed to ensuring she eats clean, avoiding simple sugars, and limiting grains and carbohydrates. How can we help her manage her diabetes more effectively? Her endocrinologist keeps trying to put her on statins, which made her sick in the past, and we are refusing. Please provide a plan that we can follow.
How can we help my very overweight 13-year-old granddaughter who has been diagnosed as insulin resistant, is anxious, and a compulsive eater? The doctor has her on medication for anxiety and says she'll outgrow it, but it is crippling her and causing her to isolate herself. We don’t want her to take new shots or diet pills, but we are at a loss for what to do, and the doctors and counselors have not been helpful. We would be forever grateful for any guidance you can provide to help her get on the right path. Thank you so much.
